In a field by a river
That has swept you away
So wide and so deep
So little chance of escape
All stretching on forever
Not a blemish on the skyline
I am running to try and find you
Grab a branch and pull you out
Desperate to outpace the current
Before it's too late
And no one hears a word of it
No one knows a thing
And in a sudden moment
It's clear what they believe in
In their lives there is no water
You move so slowly on the earth
They'll never see it as it looks from the inside
Before the sun sets on your chance
Your chance to escape this world
And rush into one you can love
From far away, I hear you say
"I can tell that you're alone in there,
And I - I bet it must be nice
I can tell that you're alone in there,
But I was only floating by
We've changed"
And when it's all dried up, I'll lie down
And I'll take on nothing
As I want from the ground
And when it's all dried up, I'll lie down
And I'll accept nothing
As I want from the ground
